Hearing a. Audiometers, calibrated to standards of the International Standards Organization (ISO 8253:1 1989) (reference (c)) or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI 1996), will be used to test the hearing of all applicants. b. All audiometric tracings or audiometric readings recorded on reports of medical examination or other medical records will be clearly identified. c. Current hearing threshold level in either ear greater than that described below is disqualifying: (1) Pure tone at 500, 1000, and 2000 cycles per second for each ear of not more than 30 decibels (dB) on the average, with no individual level greater than 35 dB at those frequencies. (2) Pure tone level not more than 45 dB at 3000 cycles per second or 55 dB at 4000 cycles per second for each ear. (3) There is no standard for 6000 cycles per second. d. Current or history of hearing aid use (V53.2) is disqualifying. That is the standard. You have already failed it unless the Marines require even better hearing. Perhaps all this is familar?

2–7. Hearing
a. Audiometers, calibrated to standards of the International Standards Organization (ISO 8253:1 1989) (reference
(c)) or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI 1996), will be used to test the hearing of all applicants.
b. All audiometric tracings or audiometric readings recorded on reports of medical examination or other medical
records will be clearly identified.
c. Current hearing threshold level in either ear greater than that described below is disqualifying:
(1) Pure tone at 500, 1000, and 2000 cycles per second for each ear of not more than 30 decibels (dB) on the
average, with no individual level greater than 35 dB at those frequencies.
(2) Pure tone level not more than 45 dB at 3000 cycles per second or 55 dB at 4000 cycles per second for each ear.
(3) There is no standard for 6000 cycles per second.
d. Current or history of hearing aid use (V53.2) is disqualifying.

That is the standard. You have already failed it unless the Marines require even better hearing.

Now their are waivers out there but they are hard to get. You can check but the services are going to have the same minimum standards for hearing.
